Potential segfault in the time crate

Details
Package	`time`
Version	`0.1.45`
URL	https://github.com/time-rs/time/issues/293
Date	2020-11-18
Patched versions	`>=0.2.23`
Unaffected versions	`=0.2.0,=0.2.1,=0.2.2,=0.2.3,=0.2.4,=0.2.5,=0.2.6`

Impact

Unix-like operating systems may segfault due to dereferencing a dangling pointer in specific circumstances. This requires an environment variable to be set in a different thread than the affected functions. This may occur without the user's knowledge, notably in a third-party library.

The affected functions from time 0.2.7 through 0.2.22 are:

time::UtcOffset::local_offset_at
time::UtcOffset::try_local_offset_at
time::UtcOffset::current_local_offset
time::UtcOffset::try_current_local_offset
time::OffsetDateTime::now_local
time::OffsetDateTime::try_now_local

The affected functions in time 0.1 (all versions) are:

at
at_utc
now

Non-Unix targets (including Windows and wasm) are unaffected.

Patches

Pending a proper fix, the internal method that determines the local offset has been modified to always return None on the affected operating systems. This has the effect of returning an Err on the try_* methods and UTC on the non-try_* methods.

Users and library authors with time in their dependency tree should perform cargo update, which will pull in the updated, unaffected code.

Users of time 0.1 do not have a patch and should upgrade to an unaffected version: time 0.2.23 or greater or the 0.3 series.

Workarounds

No workarounds are known.

See advisory page for additional details.
